Mr.. A. l.. Davidson, of Covincton died at
the Brown house, Macon, Thursday night.
On Saturday Mr.. Davidson registered at
the Brown house, and that evening paid his
bill, and Manager Mitchell thought he had
lett the city, but 1t seems that Mr.. Davidson
continued to remain at the hotel, and very
probably confined himself closely to his room
in an upper story, and in the great rush and
excitement of the state fair his presence was
not missed among the immense num-
Der of guests. The supposi-
ton is that Mr.. Davidson had
been drinking heavily, and staid several days
in bis room without eating anything, and con-
sequently became very weak. Thursday after
noon about half past three O'Clock, he came
out of his room and started to walk down
stairs, and fell down The steps and cut severe
cash IN his head. At Y O'Clock Thursday night
DE- Gibson was summoned by phone to como
Immediately to soc Mr.. Davidson. The doctor
started instantly, but before he could reach tho
Brown house Mr.. Davidson had breathed his
last. DR.. Gibson gives it as his opinion that
the death was the result of alcoholic poisoning.
Manager Mitchell teegraphed to the mayor of
Coyngton to know what disposition should be
made of the body. The mayor replied that he
had telegraphed to Mr.. Davidson's sister at
Conyers, Ga, for instructions.
